Pick

Tampa Bay was able to get a win in Game 1 of this series on Tuesday, but they need to string a few wins together to gain some confidence. Tampa Bay started the season on a historic pace, but they have played right around .500 over the last couple of months. Miami also needs to figure things out, as they are sinking in the wild card standings. Miami is starting Sandy Alcantara, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five starts. Tampa Bay is starting Zach Eflin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Eflin is coming off of a great performance against Baltimore in his last outing and he will face a Marlins lineup that doesn’t hit the ball very well. Take the Rays here.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says a bystander’s cellphone footage showing a deputy violently tackling a woman while she filmed her husband being handcuffed and then pepper-spraying her in the face is “ disturbing,” and community groups on Wednesday called for the department's new sheriff to hold his agency accountable. The June 24 incident in the city of Lancaster follows several cases that have drawn scrutiny to the department amid allegations of excessive use of force by its deputies.
